The Basque tale at Arzak

ByQ X

Who? Arzak What? The food at Arzak is surprisingly playful and yet somehow a timeless classic. The colours are bold and contrasting while the flavours are familiar and thought provoking. The three Michelin-starred restaurant is a dynasty and a legend in its own right. It’s easy to see why when tales of Basque are told, with great skill, on the plate. When? Tuesday to Saturday, year round Where? Avenida del Alcalde José Elosegi, 273, 20015 Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain How? For more information, visit www.arzak.info Fly via British Airways

It takes the reader through a journey of wine from history to today – a must if you want to know about more than just wine. When? Available now Where? Available in store and online How?
